Survivor Series 1997 - The Results

Before the next match, Road Dog tells The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) that they will feel some real Southern justice and that they are done for.

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) and the team of Road Dog and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) and The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match, with Road Dog and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn as the survivors.

The Truth Commission (The Jackyl, Recon, Sniper, The Interrogator) beats The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match with The Interrogator as the sole survivor. During the match, The Jackyl, having just been eliminated, sits on commentary for the rest of the match and takes offense to being called "the David Koresh of the WWF" while saying his name will be immortalized on this night.

We see fan predictions of who will win between Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.

Kevin Kelly interviews "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in the AOL Room backstage as Austin chats with the fans on America On-Line. Austin says he is concerned about his neck, but he is living with it and moving on as he needs no sympathy from the fans.

It is announced that the identity of the fan who attacked Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon) last week on Raw is a martial-arts expert named Steve Blackman, and that Vader bailed Blackman out of jail and asked WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter to allow Steve Blackman to replace The Patriot on Team USA (Vader, Blackman, Goldust, Marc Mero).

Michael Cole interviews Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader). He says that he and his teammates don't have much in common except that they don't like big-mouthed Canadians trash-talking American telling them what to think, what to do and how to act. Steve Blackman says he may not be experience in wrestling, but he's experienced in everything else and a fight is a fight. During the interview, Goldust is seen spinning around, looking at nothing at particular with black face paint and the letters "F-U" in gold in the front (mentioned before the next match to mean "Forever Unchained" by Jim Ross) and the words "Alive Again" in black on the back of his head.

Michael Cole interviews Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon). Bulldog says Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader) is in the Canadian domain, saying that Team USA will be losers and that Team Canada will dominate. Furnas says he used to be proud to be an American, but after America started honoring drugs, crime, slime and now degenerates, he is proud no more. He talks about the "America: love it or leave it" mantra and says he left.

Team Canada (Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, The British Bulldog, Doug Furnas, Phil LaFon) beats Team USA (Goldust, Marc Mero, Steve Blackman, Vader) with The British Bulldog as the sole survivor. During the match, Marc Mero moves Sable away from his team's corner after the fans chant Sable's name. Steve Blackman is eliminated by count-out when he fights off all of Team Canada at once both inside and outside of the ring. Goldust, now no longer accompanied by Marlena, is eliminated by count-out after he turns his back on Vader and refuses to let Vader tag out, forcing Vader to slap him in the face, toss him in the match and force him to wrestle. Goldust responds by walking to the back. saying he has a broken hand (covered in a black cast with the word "Freedom" in gold painted on it). The British Bulldog gets the win after hitting Vader with the ring bell as both referees are preoccupied with Doug Furnas.

Jacqueline Cook of Columbia, South Carolina is the winner of the WWF Survivor Series Super Supper Sweepstakes. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be the one taking Jacqueline and her friends out to dinner in her hometown.

Mankind says he doesn't want his match with Kane to be remembered as a wrestling match because it won't be one. He is facing a brick wall, and instead of walking around or climbing over, he's going to launch himself into it. When it does not fall, he will do it over and over again. He may die trying, but he may not, and if the wall goes down, it's just him and Paul Bearer, and when he sticks his two fingers down his throat, he will ask Bearer if he looks like a pebble now.

Kane beats Mankind in his debut match. At one point, Kane sends Mankind off the apron and into the Spanish commentary table with one hand, breaking the table down and hurting Spanish commentator Tito Santana.

Michael Cole interviews Vince McMahon and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter backstage. Slaughter says there will be extra security backstage, and Vince says that it is important that fans get to see tonight's main event. Vince says he does not know who will win between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart.

Dok Hendrix interviews Ahmed Johnson, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk). Shamrock says they're here to take care of business, saying he's got the tag team champions to back them up and that Ahmed knows survival. Hawk says there is a lot of criminal elements in the WWF, and says they are the sergeants-at-arms and that they they will start with The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia). He tells The Nation that when they get through with them, they'll be lying face down in a pool of their own blood, hoping they have a friend to turn them on their backs so they don't drown in it.

The team of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock, Ahmed Johnson and The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) beat The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) in a Traditional 4-on-4 Survivor Series Match with Shamrock as the sole survivor after making Rocky Maivia submit to the ankle lock submission, despite being smacked in the back with a steel chair by Maivia after eliminating D'Lo Brown with the same move. Ahmed is eliminated after Faarooq, who refuses to head to the back after being eliminated by Ahmed, trips up Ahmed and grabs his foot to allow Rocky Maivia to eliminate him. Ahmed chases Faarooq to the back on the way out. Road Warrior Animal is eliminated by count-out after Road Dog and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, with The Legion of Doom facepaint and with Road Dogg wearing one of their trademark shoulder pads, toss powder into Animal's face as he fights them off outside of the ring.

It is announced that 20,593 have filled the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada tonight for Survivor Series.

In Your House: D-Generation X comes to pay-per-view on December 7th! (The music played here becomes D-Generation X's ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna, "Ravishing" Rick Rude) theme on WWF programming the following night.)

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin beats Owen Hart to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship! Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon rush back into the ring to go after Austin, but Austin hits them with the Stone Cold Stunner just like he did Owen.



We see a vignette involving multiple WWF Superstars mentioning their pre-WWF accolades and their injuries in the ring, before daring anyone to lace up their boots and say they're not athletes. (This is the first appearance of the "WWF scratch logo" and the "WWF Attitude" tagline.)

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart to win the WWF Championship. Before the match can begin, Shawn and Bret go at it outside of the ring, and referee's officials, WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter and even Vince McMahon all have to restore order as the donnybrook goes in and out of the crowd. The match ends when "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels puts Bret "The Hit Man" Hart in the Sharpshooter and the bell is called for before Bret even has a chance to submit or continue. Shawn makes a hasty exit, and the pay-per-view hastily ends four minutes early. (In reality, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart is on the way out of the WWF due to a better deal from World Championship Wrestling and disappointment with storyline ideas being pitched to him, and this ends up being Bret "The Hit Man" Hart's last match in the WWF. The original idea was for Bret to win the WWF Championship and then peacefully vacate it the next night, but Vince changed plans without notifying Bret and had Shawn win it off Bret in his hometown instead. The events of the match eventually go down in history as "The Montreal Screwjob.")
